Sunset and Nearly Sunset

All has been fairly quiet on the painting front lately but not on the creative front overall. I have been spending a lot of time on my writing. Both on an adult non-fiction manuscript and a children's picture book story that I am re-working.

I did finally put brush to board today and have been doing a cupcake illustration in acrylics. I'm not sure if it will be respectable enough to post when I finish it off tomorrow, but in the meantime I thought I would post this pretty skyscape and also the seascape.

Great photos Wendy! Both the sunset and the seascape are spectacular!Good luck with your writing!Looking forward to your cupcake illustrations and more details on your children's picture book! (I am a retired, thirty-five years, elementary and middle school teacher!)Take care mate!Michael

Thank you Michael!Sounds like you had a long and productive career in teaching. I imagine your students must have loved your creative side.I've been enjoying working on a children's story again. I originally wrote it over five years ago but the word count was way too long. I've recently re-visited it and have been working on cutting it back dramatically. It's a challenge trying to get the same meaning into less words, but I love playing with words so it's been a lot of fun. I so loved your latest ocean paintings! Happy painting!Wendy

You're so multi-talented Wendy! I think it's very impressive you not only wrote several books, but also did the all the illustrations for them!! By the way, that photograph of your backyard sunset looks really amazing. Good luck with the cupcake painting!

About Me

Welcome to my blog!
This blog originally began as a vehicle to show the progress I was making with my weekly acrylic paintings. I am also a writer and find it a challenge trying to attend equally to the passion I feel for both art and words. In the process, this blog has since broadened to include all things creative and joyful in my life.
